Friend

Through the peaks of sorrow and sacrifice, to the light of joy, my friend has always been there.   A furry face, a masculine sight, a feminine beauty,  it just doesn't matter... because it's simply my friend.

I have seen you leave, once and yet again and again. Should not surprise me, as we're all in an individual journey.   A trip in which, through fortune and blessing we meet for a brief moment, just to communicate and yet, part again.  

What could be of those hard obstacles without friend?   through the darkness we would fall, all but desperation would remain.

And what about those magic and enlightening moments?   what would they be,  if they could not be shared?    For what is shared and enjoyed mutually stays forever,  but the rest vanishes in the thin air.

So many stages in life have passed, and most likely so many are yet to come.    Friend on either side of the continent,  friend on either side of judgment,   friend on any cardinal point.  It is just left for me to wonder, are you friend the one and the same?   Is it you, through many faces, the word that trascends time and space?     Is it you the same I have seen singing in the trees while drinking nectar of life, to the one I have shared human conversations with?   Is through this vital bond that I am to understand one of the keys of life?

Friend, one grows accustomed too. On which through communication a bond of trust and share is established.  Yet, all is relative and impermanent.   One moment we are both enjoying the ride,  on the next the road splits.   God only knows if I'll see you again with the same face, friend.  No doubt though, that I'll still get to see you with another, even more than once.

Friend simply as a concept encompassing all beings (not limited to humans)   with which we have the joy of sharing the trip for a while.   Taken for granted as everything else,  yet that will always eventually continue with their own road, their own journey...  to which we'll say "see you soon"      Just to see someone else come and take that place.    Sure,  that new is not a replacement, for the old bond, the old song of the souls will forever,  yet it is the one and the same concept of Friend.


In life we take everything for granted. Let's just contemplate our heart for a minute, and remember in joy all those good and great friends. Some have gone incredibly far by the distance yet are very close emotionally.  Others can be a block away but being poles apart from us now.      Of others, we have the blessing to still have close both emotionally, and physically...    No matter what the scenario is,  should Joy and Share remain in our visions of him/her,  those great moments will be still.
